Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless

Dr. Dre’s Powerbeats 2 Wireless earbuds certainly let the beat drop. These earbuds make it easy to go cord-free with music that’s full of powerful bass, and the comfy over-ear design lets you wear them all day long.

Beats fans will find that these Powerbeats 2 Wireless buds perfectly complement their collections, but excellent battery life and weak highs and mids dampen our enthusiasm.

Pros and Cons Powerbeats 2 Wireless

Pros Powerbeats 2 Wireless

Let’s get down to the excellent stuff for the Beats Powerbeats2 Wireless Review.

Water-resistant so sweat does not affect them.

They are lightweight and comfortable to wear.

The fit is snug, so the headphones stay in place when working out.

Ear tips come in four different shapes and sizes to fit comfortably in any ear.

Blast the base level. There is no distortion at any volume level. This option is impossible with many other competing headphones in this category.

These headphones let you feel the beat of the music.

Controls are easy to use.

Recharging is accessible using a standard micro USB power cord connection.

Cons Powerbeats 2 Wireless

The headphones do not automatically shut down when disconnected from a Bluetooth device, so users must remember to turn them off. Otherwise, batteries run down.

Because of audio shifts to the base range, the highs and mids are less prominent in the mix. This point is either a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the kind of music.

These headphones have earbuds, which insert into the ear canal. This option essentially blocks out all ambient noise. There is no way to hear background sounds, like traffic noise or warning sounds, when the base is booming, and the volume is turned up.

Some want more battery life than the up to six hours of playing time before recharging is necessary.

Conclusion

The bad reputation Beats has among audiophiles is only half-deserved at best. Some of the company’s products have indeed been bad, but that was in the past.

Their recent releases have, with one exception, been on par with their competitors. Get in the gym, put these headphones on, and work out with the booming base to motivate you.

These headphones have differences indeed, and if those differences (ambient noise pass through, over-ear hooks instead of in-ear wings) are essential to you, the Powerbeats2 will suit you well. But they don’t justify the inflated price.
